Sub-type Technical report Author United Nations Development Programme Title A Community-Based Approach to Resilient and Sustainable Landscapes: Lessons from Phase II of the COMDEKS Programme Publication Date 2016-10 Place of Publication New York Publisher United Nations Development Programme Pages 188 Language eng Abstract The Community Development and Knowledge Management for the Satoyama Initiative Programme (COMDEKS) was launched in 2011 as the flagship of the Satoyama Initiative, a global effort to promote sustainable use of natural resources in the landscapes worked in and relied upon by rural communities. These working landscapes and waters—known as socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS)—encompass many uses, from farming and fishing to forestry, and provide an economic and cultural mainstay of village life in developing nations. They also provide a reservoir of critical biodiversity and productive habitat that is key to the large-scale success of conservation efforts. The current publication presents guidance, insights, and case studies from the ten COMDEKS Phase II countries: Bhutan, Cameroon, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Namibia, and Niger. The target landscapes and seascapes in these countries differ markedly, representing a range of ecosystems: river basins in Ecuador and Costa Rica; inland lakes in Niger and Kyrgyzstan; agropastoral systems in Cameroon; mountain ecosystems in Bhutan; coastal seascapes in El Salvador and Indonesia; and grasslands in Mongolia and Namibia. This variety of landscapes emphasizes the flexibility and adaptability of the COMDEKS landscape management approach, and also points up the challenges of landscape-level environmental governance in any ecosystem type.
